And you would be incorrect. Shocker!
Discussions don’t make an agreement. A “mutual understanding” as you put it, which it never was anf this is just made up fiction on your part, is not an agreement.
The Sec. State Baker at that time was not the president of the US and had no authority to approve such a decision on his own, on behalf of the US or in speaking for an entire alliance, in addition president Bush Sr at that time flat out rejected this condition,
The only agreement signed, the Nato-Russia founding act signed in 1997, which specially declared all formerly affected countries had the freedom of self-determination in choosing alliances and international agreements. That is what was agreed to, not the entirely incorrect assertion you were trying to make.
I don’t understand why you try to pass off such obvious Kremlin propaganda when it can be easily fact checked.
As for what’s being said, there is Kremlin lies and propaganda parroted by you here and then there is what really happened. Worlds apart.
For example, you push the fictional garbage Kremlin claim that Nato was a threat to Russia.
How?
How was an alliance that has never attacked Russia in its history a threat?
How is Nato such a threat that Putin can reduce his forces on Finlands border by 80% AFTER they join Nato?
How was Nato a threat?
You purport to be a smart chappie, how about you back up the kremlin lies and propaganda slogan of “Nato threat” you parrot with some facts?
